MARSHAL oARLL's FRIENDS.

They show Their Appreciation by Pre-
sentinE His Daughter, Miss Mabel.
with a Handsome Residence.
The friends of Marshal Peter R. CARL will
learn with feeling of qualification that his
daughter, Miss Mabel Elliott CARL, has bean
presented by Manager Carll's friends with a
handsome residence, where her parents will
take up their abode the latter part of this
week Said a gentleman last night: 'sWhen
Manager CARL was dispossessed from the
opera house to which he had devoted his
entire fortune he was served with notice to
remove his furniture and effects from that
part of the house where he had taken up his
residence. Manager CARL, who once resided
in the handsome building now occupied by
the Republican League club and iatterly
moved into a portion of the opera house
when a reverse of fortune overlook him,
petitionsd the parties who dispossesssd
him for leave to reside in the
opera house until he could obtain a suitable
rent. After much trouble Manager CARL OBJ
tanned lease of the DIR. Leavenworth resi-
denoe on Crown street. But: the building
was found to need much repairing. A few
of the marshal's influential friends seeing
the strait which that gentleman had been
left in through an unappreciative public,
volunteered if he would find suitable
house in q proper location, it should be pur
chased at once. The residence at No. 391
Temple street, now occupied by Mrs. Louis
Veitch, wealthy lady from Pittsburg, Pa.
was fixed upon, and the marshal's
friends bought it as an act
of appreciation to a big hearted and unselfsh
man and presented it to his daughter, Miss
Mabel, free of all membranes whatsoever.
The marshal will occupy his new residence
the latter part of this week. The gentleman's
friends are now determined to present him
with new theater, larger, better located
and better fitted than Carll's. It is said it
will be placed in such position that fnan-
cial embarrassment will be impossible The
marshal's many friends in the city will be
glad to learn these tidings of change in his
for the better"

NO VERDICT.

The Charge to the Jury i'm the Morse
Arson Tr1al-Thc Jury I'm Delibera.
ton For Nearly an HOur-A Disa-
eement-Excused TIL This Morn.
ing.
The long drawn out and highly thrilling
spectacular drama which has been in course
of enactment for several days in the criminal
side of the Superior court is nearly at an end.
The public interest manifested in the case
reached degree as high as if it had been
case of murder. The court room was crowded
yesterday morning and the doors had to be
closed to keep part of the crowd from surg
ing in and swelling the court room to an in
siderable degree
The prisoner Frank H. Morse, charged
with arson, had William G. Case to defend
him, and Mr. Case and State Attorney Doc
little have all along during the trial clashed
their intellectual swords together, thus
bringing out every admissible point in the
case. There were scores of people present
yesterday from the various surrounding
towns One of the most noticeable of these
was the little daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. II.
| F. Hall of Wallingford, who ran about the
room much to the amusement of the spec
tators.
Judge Andrews began his charge to the
| jury at II minutes before O'Clock, speaking
| for about half an hour.
The Judge gave a very impartial charge
| with slight leaning, however, for the pris-
| Oner. The summing up in the case had been
begun by Attorney Harrison, who in the
| morning opened for the State, followed by
| Secretary of State Hubbard, for the defense.
| Mr. Harrison gave a strictly matter of fact
argument; Mr. Hubbard INDUCED in fowery
utterances of pathos for the accused, who
| was young and if convicted would be torn
from the arms of a loving wife and tender
embraces of little child.
Then came Mr.. Case, who for an hour kept
| the closest attention of the jury, showering
oratory upon them. He attacked BOSNIAN
and the Manvilles pretty badly. The argn-
ments were closed by Mr.. Doolittle, who
spoke well for Mr.. Ely, saying that the Man
villes must have been mistaken in their iden-
tity of him. His summary was one of the best
he ever made.
The jury came in at ten minutes to five
and announced that they had disagreed. The
Judge then excused them till this morning at
10 o'clock. At this declaration on the part
of the foreman of the jury Morse smiled and
was evidently very well pleased. He was
little nervous before the jury came and cast
furtive chances to them when they made
their entrance. He kept himself well under
control and chatted with his father and sew
eral WaIlingford ladies. Two of his broth
ers, George and Cliff, his father and mother
and Mrs. Elijah Steele we're present. Before
the charge TO the jury was given Morse's wife
tainted and she had to be taken from the
court room.
There now remains no doubt that the jury
will either disagree or acquit the prisoner.
